Chapter 34: Come blow the candles with me!

“Little Zhou, I brought some other artworks this time. Why don’t you come with me?”

With that, Bai Tanwen wanted to take Zhou Xuan to the villa.

The antique calligraphy and paintings he had brought with him were all placed in the study.

Bai Zhenxiong naturally followed along.

Although he didn’t like calligraphy and painting as much as Bai Tanwen, he knew how to appreciate these things.

He really wanted to hear Zhou Xuan’s opinion on these paintings.

“Thank you, Sir. I also want to see some other famous works.” Zhou Xuan couldn’t refuse such an invitation.

The three of them were about to return to the villa.

The housekeeper walked over with an embarrassed look on her face as she carefully reminded him.

“Mr. Bai, Miss Mingyue is about to cut the cake…”

“Ah! I almost forgot about the business!!” Hearing this, Bai Tanwen stopped in his tracks and immediately reacted.

“That’s right, Father. We came to celebrate Mingyue’s birthday. As we talked, we almost forgot,” Bai Zhenxiong said.

They had come out of the villa because Bai Mingyue was about to cut the cake and the celebration was about to officially begin.

He hadn’t expected to meet Zhou Xuan and almost forgot about the business.

“Little Zhou, you’re also here to attend Bright Moon’s birthday party. Come with us. Let’s chat as we walk.”

As he walked into the manor, Bai Tanwen did not forget to hold Zhou Xuan’s hand and say, “After the birthday celebration, you must stay and come with me to see the paintings I brought.”

“I’ll definitely stay. I’m looking forward to it too.” Zhou Xuan nodded with a smile and followed the two people to the manor.

“It’s a pity that I didn’t bring the best this time, but there are some excellent works… Do you understand calligraphy?”

“A little bit…”

“That’s great. This time, I brought the Song Dynasty Mo Bao…”

—

In the middle of the manor, neon lights flickered, the lights as bright as day.

A huge three-tiered cake was placed in the middle. Just by looking at its shape, one could guess that this cake was not cheap.

Almost everyone around was the Bai family members who had come to celebrate their birthday.

There weren’t many people, but they were all Bai Mingyue’s relatives, such as uncles, aunties, cousins, and the like.

Many people who hadn’t seen each other for a long time were chatting while drinking red wine.

Compared to an ordinary gathering, the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

Next to the cake, Bai Mingyue was the main character today, wearing an exquisite crown on her head.

It was different from paper. Not only was it made of pure gold, but the diamonds inlaid on it were also very valuable.

However, Bai Mingyue was waiting with the cake cutter.

Although she was the main character today, she still had to wait for her father and grandfather to arrive.

Needless to say, the others were waiting for these two.

Besides that, Bai Mingyue was still looking for Zhou Xuan.

“Yan Yan, where’s Xiao Xuan?” Bai Mingyue whispered.

“I don’t know. Who knows where that guy went.” Tang Yuyan pursed her lips, still angry at what had just happened.

“Mingyue, who are you looking for?” A cold voice came from the side. The owner of the voice was Qin Xueqing.

As a friend of Bai Mingyue, Qin Xueqing was naturally invited to attend.

When she saw Tang Yuyan and Bai Mingyue whispering to each other, she couldn’t help but feel confused.

Bai Mingyue shook her head and was about to speak.

At this moment.

Bai Tanwen, Bai Zhenxiong, and Zhou Xuan walked over in a rowdy manner.

“Eh, that young man is…?”

“I haven’t seen him before. He actually seems to be having a good time talking to the old man…”

“The old man’s eyes have always been very high. Not many of the younger generation in the family have interested him. How could this young man interact with the old man like this? Who is he?”

“Could it be a super young master?”

A few people from Bai Mingyue’s generation were shocked when they saw this.

Most importantly, they saw Zhou Xuan walking between Bai Tanwen and Bai Zhenxiong.

The position in the middle wasn’t something that just anyone could walk. The higher the status, the more the position would be.

Zhou Xuan naturally walked between them.

People couldn’t help guessing Zhou Xuan’s identity.

Actually, the reason why Zhou Xuan was in the middle was because it was convenient for him to talk to Bai Tanwen and Bai Zhenxiong. Bai Tanwen and Bai Zhenxiong had no objections to this.

However, he didn’t expect that this made people have a shocking guess about his identity.

“Eh… Why is Xiao Xuan with my father and grandfather?”

Bai Mingyue was stunned when she saw Zhou Xuan in the middle of the white altar.

Qin Xueqing was stunned when she saw this.

It was hard to believe.

She already knew that Zhou Xuan worked in Bai Mingyue’s company and was invited to the party. It wasn’t surprising.

However, Zhou Xuan actually knew Bai Tanwen and Bai Zhenxiong, which surprised her greatly.

After all, just knowing the younger generation didn’t mean that they were recognized by their elders.

This was a completely different concept.

They could not be compared.

The two people who were chatting with Zhou Xuan were the real giants of the Bai Corporation!

In a daze, Zhou Xuan, Bai Tanwen, and Bai Zhenxiong had already walked closer with a smile.

Bai Zhenxiong and Bai Tanwen picked up the wine beside them and led Zhou Xuan to the circle of elders.

Zhou Xuan also casually took a glass of red wine. Under the introduction of Bai Zhenxiong and Bai Tanwen, he naturally blended in.

Several cousins who were close to Bai Mingyue looked at Zhou Xuan in surprise.

Because at this time, Bai Tanwen was still talking to Zhou Xuan in a low voice with a smile on his face.

Zhou Xuan faced the other elders of the Bai family and was very calm.

They were envious.

As children of the Bai family, they naturally hoped to be loved and favored by the old man and their elders.

Unfortunately, the old man’s eyes were too high and his attitude towards them couldn’t be said to be loving.

After all, at their age, they didn’t have much to say to their elders. They didn’t have any common topic, so they didn’t show any special talent.

However, they never thought that this unfamiliar young man in front of them would be so liked by the old man.

At that moment, a servant came over and put candles on the cake.

“Mingyue, make a wish!” Only then did Bai Tanwen let Zhou Xuan go. He looked at his granddaughter with a smile and said.

The surroundings gradually quieted down.

The lights were also temporarily turned off, leaving only the flickering light of the candle.

Bai Mingyue lightly nodded and pressed her palms together. She stood in front of the cake and closed her eyes.

After a few seconds, she opened his eyes.

“It’s done?” Bai Tanwen asked.

“Yes.” Bai Mingyue nodded.

“Then blow out the candles!” Bai Tanwen smiled.

Bai Mingyue nodded but her eyes suddenly turned to Zhou Xuan. “Xiao Xuan, come blow the candles with me!”
